The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This is a description of a programming slot on Australian TV that aired odd and often offensive comedies. These shows were usually made by the broadcaster and attracted the largest audience of the week for the channel. In 2014, the slot stopped showing comedies and now runs other types of programs.

What happens

The SBS Monday comedy slot was part of the schedule of Australian state broadcaster SBS dedicated to off-beat, often offensive comedy programming, often produced by SBS itself and usually the highest rating night on SBS TV. Prior to 2013, programs aired between 8:30 and 9:30pm Monday nights, after Top Gear and before SBS World News Australia. During the summer non-ratings period, it aired after Top Gear Australia. As of 2014, the slot is currently filled with programs of other genres, and much comedy programming is screened on SBS Two. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
